So who owns Gallup, that’s making them do this?

Gallup is an employee-owned corporation. i'm not sure where the funding for their presidential approval polling comes from

employee-owned

is such a euphemism, in my opinion. Law firms are often "employee-owned".

It has internal shareholders, they're not a co-op, and should be viewed like any other for profit business.

Totally. That's way I tried to make sure to say corporation

Oh yeah, no issue with how you've used it. I'm just publically grumbling about the term's existence haha

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 points 19 hours ago

nah yeah totally got that. just wanted to make sure anyone coming accross this knew to recognize it in the future as not being the same. i realized with your comment that a little bit of my intention was lost

Me either, but I'm sure that famously litigious Trump didn't threaten to sue them if they continued posting bad numbers like he's threatened anyone who hurt his feelings.
